She was defeated, and realized she made a misstep in trying to get resources for a customer journey mapping initiative. The C-Suite heard her desire to understand customers better, but they couldn’t see HOW that exercise would benefit the company, exactly.

"It's all about listening to the customer and figuring out what they need. You can't just say, 'What do we want to sell?' You have to listen." But how? A question that we frequently get from customer experience leaders is how can they get a consolidated view and more analytical insights from the voice of the customers , especially when managing feedback across multiple locations and a large customer base.

Most companies focus on continuously improving their customer satisfaction, and tracking Net Promoter Score is an important step in building a culture of Customer Success. Over the years, Net Promoter Score has proven to be a key customer satisfaction metric.

For many organizations, in-house customer care feels like the right choice. It keeps you close to your customers and ready to serve them with your comprehensive knowledge of your products or services. But doing it all in-house also comes with its pain points, and, if customer care is looked at internally as just a necessary service function for your true core competency/offering, it is possible you’re selling your customers short, when it comes to service.
